Underdog 2,337 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I was getting dull sparks and lousy ignition with this gun so I set to cooking the frizzen in carbon in the wood burner. Eventually I got it hot enough to take carbon so I quenched it. The following field test proved it was a success. A crow was impressed with the speed of ignition and a magpie. Here is a photo of an also impressed squirrel. U. Quote Link to post

I suppose you could temper this one to take the brittleness out, but it seems to be working just fine as it is, Quote Link to post
